Red Wings bring back Kyle Quincey for 2 years | 07/01/2014 7:32 PM

News

The Detroit Red Wings signed Kyle Quincey to a two-year, $8.5 million contract on July 1.

Impact

That's about $1 million more than his previous two-year deal with the Red Wings. Quincey's offensive game seems like it's slipping a bit, but a decent depth option considering his solid PIM (88 PIM in 2013-14).

Quincey not likely to be back in Detroit | 06/01/2014 10:30 AM

News

There is a very good chance that Kyle Quincey has played his last game for the Red Wings.

Detroit Free Press

Impact

The underrated defenseman is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st and every indication is that he test the market. Given the offers rearguards have procurred in years' past, it is likely Quincey will find a better deal with another club. It is also unlikely the Red Wings will re-sign their other UFAs Todd Bertuzzi, Daniel Cleary, David Legwand, Mikael Samuelsson and Jonas Gustavsson. Daniel Alfredsson, the Wings' sixth UFA could return to Motown if he wishes to play another season.

Wings split Quincey and Smith | 12/29/2013 9:29 AM

News

Detroit coach Mike Babcock switched up his top two defenseman pairings for Saturday's game against Florida.

Detroit News

Impact

He split up the struggling pair of Kyle Quincey and Brendan Smith. Quincey played with Danny DeKeyser and registered an assist, while Smith skated alongside Niklas Kronwall and scored a goal. Quincey was minus 13 and Smith minus six going into Saturday's contest. For at least one game, the switch seems to have revitalized both Quincey and Smith. That said, we can't recommend either at this time.

News

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey is at risk of a possible suspension after being ejected for a hit on Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf.

Quincey received a game misconduct and five-minute boarding major. He has one suspension (April 2012, one game) on his resume, so that works against his him. It helps that Getzlaf returned during Tuesday's contest, however.

News

Kyle Quincey registered his first goal of the season for Detroit in a 2-1 shootout loss to Tampa on Thursday.

St. James: Wings should deal Kyle Quincey | 12/05/2013 11:23 AM

News

Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press thinks it would be in Detroit's best interest to try to trade Kyle Quincey.

Detroit Free Press

Impact

His departure would free up a spot for when Dan DeKeyser is able to return from LTIR and Quincey probably won't have a spot in the lineup when Detroit's defense corps is back to full health. He has three assists and a minus-9 rating in 29 games this season. Quincey can also become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Quincey (soreness) doesn't practice Wednesday | 11/20/2013 6:00 PM

News

Kyle Quincey missed Wednesday's practice due to "bumps and bruises."

Detroit News

Impact

Quincey is still expected to play Thursday, but we're going to err on the side of caution and list him as day-to-day. He has three assists and 14 penalty minutes in 22 games this season.

"If we do anything different, [Marian] Hossa and the other guys will just burn us," Quincey said. "It's status quo for us. Obviously, they're all great players and we have to respect them and keep their time and space to a minimum." The Blackhawks have scored just two goals in their last three games, so they're hoping that stacking their first line will spark their offense. Chicago's a very deep team though, so as Quincey noted, Detroit can't focus its attention extensively on one line.

Impact

He was replaced by Brendan Smith in the lineup. "I don't have much to say on it," Quincey said. "Three guys are waiting and all ready to play and they're all good defensemen, so it's the nature of the beast." He has not had any fantasy value this season.

Impact

That being said, it sounds like the Red Wings might not use Quincey on Thursday even if he declares himself ready to return. "It'll be a battle because DeKeyser thinks he's playing Thursday, too," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said, referring to Dan DeKeyser, who will try to make the jump straight from the NCAA to the NHL after signing with the Red Wings.

Detroit News

Impact

The game is in Detroit and Quincey will find that the game in Denver on April 5 will be stranger. He spent three seasons with the Avalanche and was dealt to Detroit via Tampa Bay on Feb. 21, 2012. Quincey has only one goal with nary an assist in 20 games this eeason but is a plus-11, giving him some fantasy value.
